A frequency converter circuit which multiplies a received signal which is a radio frequency signal by a locally-generated signal and extracts a signal including a frequency corresponding to a difference between the harmonic of the locally-generated signal and the frequency of the radio frequency signal, includes: a mixer section that multiplies the received signal by the locally-generated signal; a timing signal generation section that generates a timing signal synchronized with the locally-generated signal; a sample-and-hold section that samples and holds an output signal of the mixer section according to the timing signal; and a filter section that extracts, from an output signal of the sample-and-hold section, a signal component including the frequency corresponding to the difference between the harmonic of the locally-generated signal and the frequency of the radio frequency signal. |
